Send us your feedback to audioarticles@vaarta.com
Yash Raj Films has three films lined up in the capacity of producers - Fanaa, Dhoom II and Kabul Express - with the biggest of all 'Fanaa' gearing up for a May release. With just 8 more weeks to go for the film's release, the first promo of this Aamir Khan - Kajol has been unleashed. And the first reaction that comes up (just like most of YRF films) is - 'Fanaa' is a winner in the making!
Here we present you to an exclusive promo review of 'Fanaa' that is directed by Kunal Kohli [Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum].
No, 'Fanaa' is not a typical 'girl-boy-falling-in-love-in-Kashmir' story. It is DIFFERENT, howsoever cliched it may sound and this statement comes after watching the 45 seconds promo. There were murmurs abound about 'Fanaa' being a story of two young people in love in the troubled valley of Kashmir, but the promo throws up a big surprise.
As Aamir Khan walks casually in a wide passage of a place that looks like a vintage shopping center/historical place while being attired in a patched white shirt, blue jeans and a muffler round his neck, Udit Narayan hums to the melody of Jatin Lalit in the background. The next shot features Kajol in a different location. Attired in green 'kameez' and white 'dupatta', she looks every bit a Yash Raj heroine with a carefree swirling of her shoulder length hair.
From here things take a pacy turn with the sound of 'tabla' making way for a thunderous 'qawalli' track - 'Subhan Allah'. The top angle shot of men and women dancing in a concentric circles followed by a brightly lit monument ensure rich look of the film that boasts of great production values. While Kajol claps around and Aamir Khan dances along in a carefree manner (just like his character DJ in Rang De Basanti), more shots follow that has horde of women wearing long skirts and dancing to the ethnic fusion music.
A few romantic/light hearted moments between Aamir Khan and Kajol are seen on the screen but the one that stand out is the shot that has both the lovers sharing a toy car in an amusement park! Finally comes the defining moment in the entire proceeding as Aamir Khan holds Kajol's palm and makes it rub past his face. As her character cherishes the most romantic moment of her life with Aamir kissing her palm, the only dialogue in the entire promo comes in the background in Kajol's voice:
"Tere Dil Mein Meri Saanson Ko Panaah Mil Jaaye, Tere Ishq Mein Meri Jaan Fanaa Ho Jaaye"
As things seem to be turning highly romantic in the lives of the lead couple, one starts getting an impression of yet another love story by YRF. But hold on, that doesn't seem to be entirely the case as there is more to come!
Shocker comes in the form of the last shot of the promo that features the bare-chested well toned body of Aamir Khan (who also sports a white bandana) with Khan pressing the trigger of his pistol at someone (who is not shown in the frame) lying down on the ground.
And did someone say that 'Fanaa' was merely a love story?
Also starring Rishi Kapoor, Tabu, Roshan 'Shiny' Ahuja, Gautami Kapoor, Kirron Kher and Lara Dutta in a special appearance, 'Fanaa' releases on 26th May all over.
